In a presidential election year, it is natural that most of the media attention focuses on national candidates and issues. But elections are generally administered at the county level and, of course, there are any number of local races that will be on the ballot as well.

Here at the Marin Lawyer, we thought it would be helpful to devote this month’s issue to our county’s election process. From a piece about our local boards and commissions co-authored by Carla Cacmar, Assistant Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, and Crystal Martinez, and aide to one of the Supervisors, to interviews with one of our new judges, James Shurz, and our County Registrar of Voters Lynda Roberts, we proudly present a number of highly informative articles.

Let’s go vote!
